His arguments are highlighted below:

No petition against me

The senator argued that he was never notified nor was he learnt of any petition against him that formed the basis of his suspension by the national working committee (NWC) of the PDP.

No invitation to any meeting, hearing or proceeding of the NWO

The former governor argued that the NWC of the PDP never invited him to any proceedings, hearing or meeting for discussion on his offences.

He said, therefore, he was denied the opportunity to a fair hearing, neither by representation nor by himself, before the proposed decision.

His suspension violated the provision of the constitution

He, therefore, concluded that his suspension is a violation of the party's constitution which gives room to a fair hearing.

To him, the purported suspension did not follow laydown disciplinary proceedings and was against the superiority of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Chimaroke Nnamani, a senator representing Enugu east under the PDP platform, has spoken up on why his name appeared on the APC presidential campaign council list.

Nnamani, who is also a former governor of the state, said it is only the APC that recognised the south from becoming a president of the country in the 2023 election.

In a series of tweets, the elder statesman posited that the Igbo alliance with the north has not always been working, adding that the southeast people need to rework their political mathematics.
